Product Information
Full details
The SPARES2GO carbon charcoal vent filter is an essential replacement accessory for owners of Hotpoint cooker extractor hoods who want to maintain optimal air quality in their kitchen. It is designed for those who use their cooker hoods in recirculation mode, providing a reliable way to trap stubborn grease and neutralize cooking odors before they circulate back into your home. While it offers high-performance filtration, users should note that as a charcoal-based product, it cannot be washed and requires periodic replacement to remain effective.

FAQs
How often should I change this filter?
It is generally recommended to replace the filter every 3 to 6 months, depending on how often you cook.
Can I wash the filter to make it last longer?
No, this is an activated charcoal filter and it cannot be washed. Water will damage the carbon and render it ineffective.
How do I know if my cooker hood needs this filter?
If your hood is operating in 'recirculation mode' (where air returns to the kitchen rather than being vented outside), a carbon filter is required.
Does this filter come with the metal grease mesh?
No, this product is the carbon charcoal filter only. You should continue to use and clean your existing metal mesh grease filter.
Will this fit every Hotpoint model?
It fits many Hotpoint models, but compatibility depends on the specific shape and size requirements of your hood unit. Always check your model number.
Troubleshooting
Odors are still lingering after installing a new filter
Ensure the filter is seated properly and that the primary metal grease filter is also clean, as a blocked grease filter can prevent proper airflow.
The filter does not fit securely in the slot
Double-check your hood model number against the filter compatibility list and ensure no packaging materials were left on the filter frame.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before installing the new filter, turn off your cooker hood at the mains for safety. Locate the filter housing, which is typically found behind the primary metal grease mesh. Remove the old charcoal filter by twisting or unclipping it as per your specific hood's manual. To maintain efficiency, do not attempt to clean this filter with water or soaps, as moisture will ruin the carbon structure. It is recommended to replace the unit every 3 to 6 months, depending on the frequency of your cooking. Always verify that your specific Hotpoint hood model is compatible with the filter dimensions before purchase.
